July 21 - Camp Quality South
For ten years now, For a Day-Detroit Chapter has been visiting Camp Quality on the day of their big dance. Volunteers from all over came to help get the kids all dolled up for the royal ball. It just so happened this year that there was a tornado and storm watch during the event so all 68 children and their companions were directed to the basement area to partake in our activities.

We had 20 girls and 23 boys this year and all of their companions (43) join us in the dining hall. Click here to read more about our visit!
